Game Plan

An ultimate game and puzzle shop

f you’re looking for a creative gift and sick of what Milton Bradley has to offer, Eureka Puzzles is the perfect place to get your game on. It features intricate puzzles and European-style board games like nothing you’d ever come across at Toys R Us, at reasonable prices. Gamers will find zombie-inspired diversions, word searches, brain teasers, and crosswords in a friendly environment. But you’ll never find Monopoly or Twister here. Make sure to check out Eureka’s game nights, too. They’re s a good way to meet fellow gamers, or just people who don’t stay home and watch TV. Cassis
